This starts with Some technical wrestling as they feel each other out, fans applaud. Slight “let’s go Haskins” chant as Haskins works over Gresham’s arm. Gresham starts to tie up Mark, starting with his legs but moving to the arms by bow and arrowing the arms behind the back. Gresham gets over confident and Haskins hits a dive and takes it to Gresham ringside briefly but as Mark sells his arms, he takes Gresham back in the ring. The story quickly becomes Mark is targeting Jon Gresham’s legs while Gresham targets the arms of Haskins. After lots of reversals, pins and moves that probably don’t have names, this turns into a striking battle with Haskins kicking Gresham’s legs and Gresham forearming Mark’s arm. Mark got Gresham in a low Sharp Shooter for the submission win. Winner Mark Haskins.

International Cup Match – Kip Sabian vs Flip Gordon

This starts with Some technical wrestling but quickly breaks into flips and high speed action that gets the better of Kip Sabian until Kid bounced off the second rope to kick Flip in the face and Flip backflipped off the apron and onto the mats below. Kip Sabian works over Flip in the ring. After a few minutes of heat for Kip, Flip makes a comeback with some kicks and a springboard missile dropkick. Flip hits the Kinder Suprise then a flip dive into Sabian. Sabian cuts Flip off on the top rope and hits a hurricanrana from the top. Flip sends Sabain outside with a dropkick then hits another dive, the fans are starting to wake up then Sabian hits a very good dive then goes and sits with the commentary team and saying into the microphone “That is how it’s done”. Bank in the ring they hit big move after big move with multiple nearfalls in quick concession. Flip Gordon hits a reverse F5/Cutter type move on Kip Sabian for the win. Winner Flip Gordon.

Kay Lee Ray vs Viper

Kay Lee Ray makes her entrance first to a good reaction, both women are Scotish so the fans are happy to see both. During entrances Ian and Colt apologise for the pronunciation of the home towns. They start off by having some fun with the crowd as I hear laughter from the fans. It is clear that these two are friends as most of the first five minutes they are pretty much doing comedy wrestling. After the comedy this match broke out into some good wrestling, Kay Lee Ray jumped up after a Viper-driver and delivered a superkick for a two count but in the end Viper hits a Viper-driver from the second rope for the win. Winner Viper.

International Cup Match – Jimmy Havoc vs Christopher Daniels

This starts with a collar and elbow tie up but Havoc quickly tries anything other than technical wrestling so while Havoc has Daniels’ arm in a arm lock, he turns his back to referee Todd Sinclair and gives Daniels a paper cut in between the fingers. Jimmy tries to use a frying pan but Todd Sinclair takes it away, the crowd boos. Jimmy dodges a superkick, goes to the outside, grabs a solid metal chair(not a folding chair) and throws it in the ring but when he gets back in Daniels throws the chair out. Daniels says he doesn’t want to do “Hardcore.” Jimmy looked torn but then stuck two fingers in the face of Daniels. On the outside Havoc set a table up but Daniels throws Havoc into the barrier then puts the table back under the ring. Back in the ring Daniels hits an Arabian Moonsalt for a two. Havoc makes a comeback with a shotgun dropkick and a double stomp for a two count. After some back and forth they both hit clotheslines and Jimmy Havoc rolls to the outside and when he comes back in Jimmy has a staple gun. After some struggle, Christopher Daniels ends up with the staple gun and staples Todd Sinclair, who was knocked into moments before, in the arse. Todd thought it was Havoc as Daniels had thrown it to him but when Sinclair took the staple gun, Havoc shoved Daniels into him, stapling his chest the hits the Acid Rainmaker for the win. Winner Jimmy Havoc.

International Cup Match – Hangman Page vs Joey Hendry

the fans chant “local hero” for Joe Henry as they stand face-to-face, Hangman spits on his hand saying “this is what I think of Edinburgh” then goes to shake hands but Hendry slaps the hand away. They begin to wrestle and Hendry out wrestles Adam Page early on, Hendry also matches size for Hangman. Page slams Hendry around on the outside and into the barriers and takes it back in the ring. Hendry manages to make a comeback and he his a DDT that gives him the advantage. As they both lay on the mat the marks on Joe Henry are clearly visible. Through lots of back and forth, Hangman Page hits his nose on a bridging suplex and I think I saw some blood but after a Buckshot lariat, Page hits a Right Of Passage for the win. Winner Adam “Hangman” Page.

Proving Ground Match – Adam Brooks vs Jay Lethal

Adam Brooks starts off with a shotgun dropkick and a dive, back in the ring he only gets a one count on the shaken ROH Champion.

Punishment tags in and everyone chants for Marty, so after some deliberation Marty Tags in but when Marty gets the hand of Martinez, The Briscoes come in and jump Marty and The Bucks. Martinez tags in Mark Briscoe, who tags Jay. as they work over Marty. When Marty finally went to make a tag, The Briscoes pulled The Bucks off the apron but minutes later Marty hits a big delayed brainbuster and eventually makes a tag to Nick Jackson.
